ballad to the guitar. If you need it, I maybe could write

Chords:

F:        Bb:        C:

e|--1--------x-----------x---
b|--1--------3-----------5---
g|--2--------3-----------5---
d|--3--------3-----------5---
a|--3--------1-----------3---
e|--1--------x-----------x---


Use these chords for the first two lines of each verse and
the break.
The am7, gm7 and dm7 in the rest of each verse are:


am7:   gm7:    dm7:
e|--x------x-------x-------
b|--5------3-------10------
g|--5------3-------10------
d|--5------3-------10------
a|--x------x-------x-------
e|--5------3-------10------


For last C in each verse I take an upper position:

   C:
e|-----x-------------------
b|-----8-------------------
g|-----9-------------------
d|-----10------------------
a|-----x-------------------
e|-----8-------------------



The Bb9 and the C9 in the end of the break are:

Bb9:         C9:

e|--x-----------x---
b|--1-----------3---
g|--3-----------5---
d|--3-----------5---
a|--1-----------3---
e|--x-----------x---


So you finally need the chords I play in the end of the Song.
I end up in the 10th position (dm7) and progress in a downward
movement in an ending-sequence to a finally F^7/9:


Play the dm7 at the 10th and the C at the 8th position. Go
down two frets to the 6th position and try a Bbmajor6 like
this:

   Bb^6:
e|---------x--------
b|---------6--------
g|---------7--------
d|---------5--------
a|---------x--------
e|---------6--------

In the ending sequence I use the already mentioned gm7 after which I go over a gm7
add C on b-string at first position,

   gm7/C:
e|---------x---------
b|---------1---------
g|---------3---------
d|---------3---------
a|---------x---------
e|---------3---------


to the last chord, a F major7/9:


   F^7/9:
e|---------0---------
b|---------1---------
g|---------0---------
d|---------3---------
a|---------x---------
e|---------1---------



I hope you like it and enjoy...   Juergen
